| Today's
Accomplishments: |
Cornelison, Cooper, and Lawson traveled to
Texas to undertake an archeological project on a Mexican-American War
battlefield. The rest of the crew continued to excavate the top and south
side of Mound A. Steve Kidd acted as crew chief assisting co-PI Dave
Anderson in running the team while the others were gone. |
 |
SEAC archaeologist and University of Indiana
graduate student Josh Wells mapping the fired structure floor at the north
end of the mound summit. |
 |
Another photograph of the fired red surface at the
north end of Mound A summit. When the surface was wet down, as in this case,
the red is very pronounced. |
 |
SEAC archaeologist and University of Indiana
graduate student Josh Wells using one of the hoses to wet down the fired
structure floor at the north end of the mound summit. Water hoses capable of
reaching all parts of the excavations were put in place early in the
excavations, to wet down units prior to photography, and keep units from
getting too baked out. |
 |
Strata in the west wall of N37 E180, prior to
excavation. We continue to take down units in the control trench in 10cm
levels, while taking out units to either side using natural strata. The red
fill in the wall is one strata we have been following with great interest. |
